Funny thing is 2 phone lines + internet connection cost the same here as Brodband does, so why bother.

2 phone lines is only about $20 bucks extra on top of your local phone bill

agreed, the only reason you would do the 2 phone line is if the only thing offered was dialup =p

Not to mention that your ISP must allow and support modem teaming in the first place - if the don't, you're dead in the water before you even start. Even with it working to maximum, the best you could expect is about 100k down and I don't think you even get a benifit up. Poor substitute for broadband and as expensive.

better than connecting at 26.4 Kbps. and it is K for me, not k, just checked

if you are connecting at 26.4 right now, you have other issues. Either the phone lines in your house are inadequete or the cable card along the path from you to the CO are in poor shape. You should be able to get 56 Kbps at least.

With two modems you would pull around 112 Kbps or around 11 KBps. Very few ISP's I have come across DON'T do modem teaming. I have found maybe one out of 12 that doesn't allow for modem teaming.
